Hi everybody! For those of you who still remember me, I am in my way to recovery and my Qingqi Motard 200 just needs some little tweaking to go rolling again... but most about it later.
I am in no ways proficient with motorcycle electricals (You might consider me a complete ignorant and I will not feel offended at all), but I want to throw up a little guessing. I completely agree with Forchetto in that the fuse holder in this bike looks cheesy, but my 5 cents` worth are not being wasted in that: A very good mechanic of my aquaintance told me, when my bike was new (it still is, but a little injured), that I should take care of a multi-wire connector that resides above and to the right of the battery, next to the chassis, one that has a rubber holder that fastens to a small bracket by pushing it. My friend told me that I will most certainly find it installed in such a way that it would allow to get water in (from riding in heavy rain or after an overzealous washing) and that it would not let that water to escape, eventually rendering the connectors inoperable. He adviced me to pull it out of its current position (even without havin seen my bike in the first place) and to re-locate it in a sort of "upside" position, supposedly less prone to let that water collecting, what really felt logical to me when I took out the left panel and found exactly what he told me (could that be the starter relay gizmo that Forch told about?) (?) I did what he told me, but still donīt have the opportunity to prove its worth (guess that if nothing happens in the long term, at least it has not done any harm). I think it might be something to watch for.
Thanks to all of you who took time to reply when I told about my past accident.
Hope to write something about my remounting experience soon! Take care you all, pals!
